Can't believe the BCC were so scared they used the power of the United States federal government to rid them of the luchadors.

it rules that meat madness had like 3 guys announced and apparently more than one is injured for it that mattered for the match

I suspect it was gonna be a 5 or 6 way match, and it's definitely possible that your obvious options like Lee and Miro are either hurt or 'hurt'

Penelope hasn't wrestled in ages. Who knows if Tay will ever come back. Rosa might be a shell of her former self (time will tell).

It is. Beyond even power and brawling stuff the idea there are no high flying women's wrestlers completely blows my mind. Not just in AEW, in general. Though I hear Lady Frost is a former gymnast who can do some cool flippy poo poo. Hopefully she'll put that package together because the division needs something like that.

Again, this is a problem of how women are trained more than anything else. Lady Frost is indeed awesome and is much more consistent than she used to be.

As for the others, Tay wants to come back and has talked about gunning for a title upon her return. I'm less sure about Penelope. Rosa should definitely do more brawling, as many injury-diminished wrestlers have done before her.

I'm not faulting them. i'm simply saying this is an issue that exists.

Okay well both Lance and Hobbs are in the scramble that replaced Meat Madness, so either

1) Khan was gonna add more people that can't make it or
2) It's just Wardlow and Khan just pulled it because Wardlow was gonna win, so what's the point

Wardlow was also in the graphic and still in the match so I assume it was Miro or Lee that got pulled. I have no idea why he did this.

Was definitely gonna be option 1, but since he couldn't have all the people he wanted in he's using it to give a few extra people a nice payday. It was never gonna be Keith Lee but I assume Miro couldn't make it because of CJ Perry's injury and maybe he wanted some surprises in like Jeff Cobb that just couldn't.

No one would even have known Miro was supposed to be in the match. They could've added Cage tonight and just run it but they have to overcomplicate even a throwaway match with no stakes on the ppv.

Okay, I guess Meat Madness must've originally had a bunch more people in it.

i thought you were complaining that i talked about that game too much when i didn't post about it in wrestling threads so i said "follow my lead and don't post about balatro in wrestling threads" but i think you were being genuine and i feel stupid so i just want to say do not underestimate cards that you keep in your hand especially the 'steel' upgrade. it can get nuts if you can get a steel card with a red seal on it and then clone that card in different ways and try to have as many steel red seal cards in your hand as possible before you play stuff. but you can build up to that during a run. you don't have to try to do it asap. i'm sorry. if you just want advice for getting through to a win consistently then flushes are pretty reliable to a degree, or you can brute force dying in runs really quickly over and over until you get something lucky going. that''s all for this edit. good luck. one more thing is that bonuses to chips per hand may not feel as good as multipliers but i think for keeping your head above water having some bonus to chips is a huge deal, while multipliers are better to go all out on after that and stack to ludicrous degrees. good luck again. oh yeah. as for my specific runs i like to always start building toward basically playing one powerful type of hand that clears out most rounds with 1 hand. early on i save as many unplayed hands as possible (to build up money) but after the 5th or 6th ante i'm wasting hands left and right to stall for the cards i really want to run 5 diamond aces or a flush house or whatever it ends up being that i'm trying to do. and along with that i never neglect the planet card for that specific hand. i'm not a power gamer of the game though. any and all of my real high scores have just been luck based per game. good luck for the third time. i don't think aew big business is a good name for a show. and one final thing. i hope you didn't see this until the 5th edit that i've just made now. good luck 4. edited this to fix a potential misunderstood thing i was trying to say at 4:37am

I missed Collision on Saturday so I don't know if they mentioned Hangman's injury. But watching strictly as one of the hundreds of thousands of people who only watch Dynamite, this Hangman thing...

So last week ends with Hangman getting an injury that is never referenced on the show and could easily have gone entirely unnoticed.

This week he comes out on crutches, claiming he's going to miss the ppv. Then in the very same segment reveals it was all a ruse and he's fine! He was just faking the injury that I didn't even know he pretended to have until 2 minutes ago! That was some late WCW rear end stuff right there. Not that I even minded it, but it was so pointless.

That's good advice. I like to open spectral boosters and permanently gently caress up my run

AEW has ppvs themed around casinos and poker chips and gambling terms, and there's even a couple of jokers, so it should be fine to talk about Balatro in here.

It wasn't pointless because Hangman wanted to injure Swerve before the PPV and faking an injury himself led to Swerve letting his guard down.
